Baby Scorpius - "Little Star" Headcanon

the name 'Astoria' stems from the Greek word 'aster,' which means 'star'

Astoria is Draco's light, the Sun at the center of his universe, his literal star

Scorpius is born and Draco falls to pieces watching the love of his life hold their child - the new center of their universe

he calls Scorpius his 'little star' - he shines with all the love and warmth of his mother

Astoria tries convincing Draco to let Scorpius wear muggle baby clothes instead of vintage baby gowns. he refuses until Astoria returns from a shopping trip in muggle London with this:

Draco caves immediately

so has anyone figured out WHY there is the Need To Share our Artworks™ or is it just the vibes and our Soul apparently

I love how safe all the juniors feel with Lan Sizhui. I know we like to give credit to the seniors being the duckling-sitters and they technically are but when the juniors are alone together, Lan Sizhui really is the protector of the bunch and it’s obvious how much they all trust him.

I think a large part of his purpose and happiness stems from helping others and being someone they can count on in difficult situations. There’s no ulterior motive of wanting to show off or act better than anyone in any way—he just wants to be strong and knowledgeable enough to help and protect, just like his seniors helped and protected him.

I just wanna say. I love that everyone commits to the Explorers' disguise names. Even Liko, who has no reason to, is like "ok you're annoying but I'm not gonna deadname you... Sandwich."

While I get why they didn't include it (because 4e fucked with the tieflings and now we have archdevil tieflings and the og hereditary tieflings in the same space, and the former are hogging the limelight) I think it would've been interesting to have Bhaal tieflings as a subrace option. They wouldn't look as flashy as the others - no horns, no technicolour skin or tail, for example (unless their mortal parent was a tiefling who looked like that, I guess) - but they would be highly inclined towards violence and murder. Deity descended planetouched are known for having birthmarks in the shape of their ancestor's holy sumbol, so maybe they'd have the Circle of Tears, or a bone dagger marked somewhere on their skin.

I mean, Durge's origin pretty much covers everything they'd bring to the table, so it's obsolete, but the thought stays in my head:

The first generation Bhaalspawn did reproduce: Abazigal had at least one son; Yaga-Shura was attempting to create half-giant progeny; most of the romance epilogues feature children (this was intentional, the original BG3 was supposed to have Charname's child as the protagonist, apparently). There were hundreds of Bhaalspawn who reached adulthood; many of them would've had the opportunity to marry or have children, knowingly or accidentally.

I've said this before, but again, the offspring of a quasi-deity and a mortal is a tiefling, genasi or aasimar and the divine blood may go dormant and activate generations down the line too. It's also not unknown for the planetouched to become pawns in their ancestor's games, and entire lineages (not simply the first half-outsider child alone) may be created intentionally.

Notably, Abazigal's son Draconis - a grandchild of Bhaal, and not a demigod - was not part of the giant prophecy his father, aunts and uncles were drowning the world in blood over (except as a pawn of his own half-mortal father, anyway). These planetouched mortal children would've been passed over unharmed and unnoticed (too unimportant on the divine stage). I wonder how many of Bhaal's grandchildren and great-grandchildren are running around? How many cousins might Orin have? How many nieces and nephews might have Bhaal's strings tied around them? Is resist Durge going to leave behind their sister/niece drama only to run into another one in the future?

(I am aware that it appears BG3 has ignored/handwaved away the existence/possibility of these guys: I don't care. BG2 left these plot threads and I will be taking then and running off with it.)

Not a manga reader but I saw people online shipping Gen and Rin. What are your thoughts about it?

Hi there~

Shinonome Rin x Narumi Gen?

Sure, why not!! She's a BAMF, he's a BAMF - together they could be quite an enjoyable power couple.

I wouldn't say they're one of my ships though, in the sense that I don't think about them all the time. That's sadly because my feelings towards Narumi are, ahhh... a bit lukewarm? I know, I know, blasphemy. It's just that folks were hyping this guy up so much while I was an anime-only, and that sort of thing always has the opposite effect on me. He's objectively a great character of course so no hate or anything... I hope to one day enjoy him as much as the rest of the fandom does ;;;.;;; likely once S2 hits since I always have a stronger reaction when music and voice acting is involved!

I do really like Rin and her character motivations though - I won't go into details since you're anime-only, but I found her very relatable and admirable at the same time. Whether she wants Narumi's respect, heart or anything in-between, I'm rooting for her ^^

Headcanon: Elrond and Elros were nigh-inseparable and both had a strong sense of affinity with both their Elvish and Mannish heritage. They were similar in temperament, and could often predict what the other would do with extremely high accuracy—but Elros would never have predicted that Elrond would renounce mortality, and the freedom that came with it.

Elrond, on the other hand, knew perfectly well that Elros would make the choice that Eärendil couldn't. But they didn't look different afterwards, Elros aged even more slowly than his descendants and even remote ones couldn't grow beards or anything like that, much less Elros himself. For hundreds of years, he looked as he always had, he refused to wear a crown, he was also a lover of lore and a healer, etc.

Elrond and Elros didn't feel severed except by distance (at times—Elrond used to stay for long visits on Númenor). They did grow a bit more different with time and varying experiences, but still, were never opposites, and the difference in their most critical choice was kind of baffling to all but Elrond. For the vast bulk of Elros's half a millennium of life, their bond seemed unbreakable.

And it made their final parting all the worse :(

genuine question that's been bugging me about UDG but like

is it just me or does it feel like the whole events of that game (specifically from when komaru wakes up in the airship, to big bang monokuma getting destroyed) take place in the span of like. a few days.

probably something to be said about pacing issues and how "rushed" UDG feels as a story in everything but the tokomaru arc, but mostly i just find it funny that it basically might as well be the danganronpa equivalent of conker's bad fur day. so much shit happening in such a small window of time.

@regnzz00 I see that. Hi there, how have you been?

Who does the BoulGraham bean like spending time with most? Their Dads, Grandpa, their Uncles, or their Auntie?

Good question! When he was still a bitty, he gravitated towards his parents and Cody the most. That doesn’t mean he minds spending time with his grandpa, uncles (including the bots) and aunty however. One time actually fell asleep with Kade on the couch together after they saw him snoring away there (he had rough night shift). Basically crawled onto the couch with his teddy and fell asleep next to him.

However, once older, he started butting heads with his sire (Graham) due to Gram being quite overprotective and prefers to be around his carrier (Boulder). But even then, he kind of withdrew into himself for quite a while due to personal reasons. The fact both Boulder and Gram started to somehow force them (albeit unintentionally) into wanting him to follow their footsteps and become an engineer didn’t help.

(There’s a lot more information on everyone’s familial dynamics, but then it would kind of become a messy essay, haha.)

Your the one that had all the unhinged DP X DC ships, right?

One if my Prompts recently spat out Frostbite/Alfred (Old Ice as I've been calling it) and wanted to know your opinion

definitely wasn't me you're thinking of, I don't do anything with DP x DC shdfkjlafs

BUT I LOVE THINKING ABOUT SHIPS I'VE NEVER HEARD OF BEFORE SO LET'S DO THIS!!!

also disclaimer I have seen one (1) piece of official DC media so literally all my assumptions are based off of stuff I've learned by seeing other stuff afshdkjlsaf

these two 100% have a vibe, and I'm struggling to put words to it?? but I see the vision?? like these two not-quite-dads but darn it they're gonna try and keep their kids who share one braincell safe and happy

also they've got a cute thing where it's like Alfred looks like a soft grandpa who just tells stories about the war but he's absolutely a BA underneath, and then Frostbite looks terrifying on the surface but is just a huge softie

anyway at the same time I HC Frostbite as aroace so that kind of conflicts there, plus it's hard for me to envision any sort of DP x DC ship bc I don't do anything with it halkfsd

but like fr? I would absolutely ship this platonically, easy

~~~Send me a ship and I'll give you an uneducated take for the ages!
